QuoteFor their next gig, Martin and Johansen are sinking their teeth into another sequel to an iconic sci-fi franchise - Ridley Scott's Alien: Covenant.

The two are on creature effects for the film, which they describe as "a dream job for us rubber monster nerds!"

Yess!

I split this one off from the Tweets thread. I don't think it's massive news or needs a post on the front page but I thought it could do with its own thread as there's potential for more relating to this.

Interesting, what else have they worked on? I'll have to check them out.

Dont worry about effects and visuals... I'm 1000% sure that they are going to be marvelous and top notch.
When speaking about Ridley, my only concern is always story! :)

P.S. This guys from Odd Studios are, by the way, very good (I would say excellent) artists for monster makeup! (all sorts of makeup, prosthetic make up, creature effects, animatronic characters, special effects, props and models) ;) ;D

I have confirmation that they are going to do mainly monster/creatures work for Covenant.

Hmm... thats a big ol' list of projects they've worked on. Not seeing anything that would make them the apparent choice for an alien movie but I'll i give them a shot 8)

I trust Ridley to deliver good FX in all his movies though.

Corporal Hicks

Yeah, the article mentions it'll be creature work they're doing. I'm just waiting for a response from my own queries and then I'll run this on the front page later.  :)

As far as I'm aware, all those films were shot at Fox Studios, Sydney.

So basically, any film gets made there, they get the job.

Didn't those Star Wars films have aliens in them?  :P

They've done a fair bit of character and creature work before: http://oddstudio.com/creature-effects-character-design/

Well when I think of all the practical creature effects used in the prequel films, actual complex animatronic creature effects don't come to mind. But like I said if Ridley hired em they'll probably do great work.

Also some of the pics hicks posted do look good.

Corporal Hicks

I'm particularly impressed with the ape work!

Didnt see farscape on there, thats cool. 8)

XENOMORPHOSIS

I wonder if Ridley Scott will dedicate this movie to HR Giger the Alien Designer and Carlo Rambaldi who made the Creature Effects.

Shame that Legacy Studio who are the successor of Stan Winston Studios who worked on the Creature Effects from Aliens nor Amalgamated Dynamic Inc who did the Creature Effects for Alien 3, Alien Resurrection AVP and AVP-R aren't returning to handle the Creature Effects. I guess Ridley selecting the team he feels are best suited in bringing the Xenomorph to the big screen. I must say I'm glad they're still utilizing Practical Effects and not going overboard with CGI.

On another note do any of you think this Alien esthetic will be more closer to the bio-mechanical look of the original Alien from 1979, because all movies Particularly Alien Resurrection up to Prometheus went with a more overtly Organic quality. https://images3.alphacoders.com/239/239249.jpg
